Automate contributor onboarding: A Google Form collects user info β Zapier pushes it to your GitHub repo β A GitHub Actions workflow triggers and grants repo access using your provided Personal Access Token (PAT).
Key Benefits:
- Zero manual invites for contributors
- Secure, auditable access granting
- Integrates seamlessly with Google Workspace + GitHub
- User submits Google Form (e.g., GitHub username, reason for access).
- Zapier detects new response β creates a file/commit in the repo (
quiz-results). - GitHub Workflow triggers on push β parses the request β uses your PAT to add the user as collaborator to target repos.
